Compound Trading Stock Trading Room Member Memo Feb 3, 2017

Overview Perspective & Review of Markets, Chat Room, Algo Calls, Trades and Alerts:

Some of the plays in the room and swing trades lately include stock trades, options, ETF’s etc such as $DWT, $DFFN, $PLG, $NUGT, $AAPL, $FB, $GOOGL, $BABA, $NFLX, $OAK.

In general terms, the crew in the room has absolutely been winning since early January. Mathew has been all over his swings, options and daytrades. Our members in the room have been on the same winning train. You would have to review all transcripts because it has been varied but bottom line is they have been on right side of the market from Gold to the recent tech action and in options etc. Very, very solid group. A great learning experience for traders in the room also.

The swing trading side of our service has nailed I think every call and the members have been sharing with me their success stories – as I predicted before Christmas this has without been the most profitable part of the trading I have been involved with also since Christmas. My personal daytrading in the room has been mixed, I am up just shy of 20% for the year so far BUT as I have said has I listened to our Gold and Silver algorithm charting I would be way, way, way higher. But the swing trading service side has made up for that also. 

Specifically today for myself I was trying to get on right side of oil related trading, and I don’t want to come across wrong but truth is this category (and our other algorithmic charting models such as Gold, Silver, VIX, SPY, USD) are my mainstays – because we do have somewhat of an edge… data. Anyway, my point is oil since it entered its sideways action weeks back has been predictable but I haven’t traded it much because sideways doesn’t provide optimum margin (decent but not optimum). So I have been daytrading momentum stocks and swing trading and waiting for the set-ups in our standard algorithm models to be most advantageous (and again, the error was missing the Gold and Silver turn). Anyway, to the point ha, oil, oil, oil…. it lost a technical support and when that happens 99% of the time there is a trend change (if you check EPIC the Oil Algos record on trend changes you will see its near 100% call win rate). So the set-up was perfect, but something odd happened the last two days – the machines shut off (which should occur at the inflection) but then nothing happend – which is not how oil trades. Oil trades in a very very predictable way – decision to decision and at each you make bank. And even more so when the trend is at a break and changes. So bottom line is oil trade in a way it does in less than 1% of instances when an important technical is broken. So I took two inverse oil plays $DWT and the first I took a paper cut and second flat. And I see that the chart in overnight trade is repaired and oil is back in its sideways range. Ugh. 

Per previous;

I’m still on the wrong side of that Gold / Miners / Silver trade and I have absolutely no excuse because I knew months in advance the bottom call from Rosie the Gold Algo and SuperNova Silver Algo – and I even doubled down on $DUST the other day. HOWEVER, Gold does have two very significant hurdles coming overhead that have low probabilities (as far as math is concerned) of price action clearing (with-out a pull back) – unless of course geopolitical reasons / sentiment change that.

Holding:

I am holding $ASM, $VRX, $SSH, $JUNO, $CBMX, $TRCH, $LGCY, $DUST

Looking Forward:

I am of course watching our standards that apply to our algorithmic charting;

US Dollar $DXY is at important support so I will watch for a bounce (my personal bias).

$GOLD, Miners and $SILVER blew through resistance but have a series of very significant algorithmic chart modeling and classic charting decisions on deck soon so I will watch for a pull-back (my personal bias but I do know there is a significant possibility my bias is wrong and if so I will really hammer down on the move through resistance long if it occurs – AND I’ll be ready for the small and micro caps that would likely light fight in that scenario).

$OIL was broke and it magically repaired and is back in its multi-week range – trade the range until really broke.

$VIX is still near dead – records being set (as predicted long before Christmas).

$SPY continues in its range but I will be looking for a break to higher (my personal bias).

Still playing morning momos but the last 15 sessions follow-through momo (where I bank) has been difficult because volume goes poof.

Swing trading – continuing to bank on that side of our platform and don’t expect that to slow down in 2017 (until a change in market conditions of course).

Weekend webinars we are hosting to review all of our algorithmic modeling, swing trading and what we do in our trading room will be as good for me as it will be for attendees because it will be a refresh of all the charting and a good way to get ready for next weeks trading.

PS – I know we haven’t posted five or six trading results since Christmas and we’re getting there soon. We have it on our list along with… well you know… lots:)

12:12 pm Curtis M : im sure were being played by the powers postive
12:13 pm Mathew Waterfall : O yea, we always are though lol

12:13 pm Curtis M : without error
12:14 pm Curtis M : humans trade and machines trade and with enough time and enough data you can tell when the aliens show up
12:15 pm Mathew Waterfall : Can you measure how large of an outlier we’re seeing here or is that impossible with the different layers of data?
12:15 pm Curtis M : hard to tell now because w ehave to go back to the data with what we have from yesterday and today and it takes days
12:15 pm Mathew Waterfall : Wondering how large it is to just keep us flat. Like is this a 3 sigma move just to pin things?
12:16 pm Curtis M : like loook AT THAT chart bot says sell price goes up immediaely at same time

01:08 pm Mathew Waterfall : Thise week yea. Last week was opposite
01:09 pm Curtis M : odd
01:09 pm Mathew Waterfall : I’ve been buying calls late day and sleling right off of the open with decent success. Front week jnug/nugt very risky
01:10 pm Curtis M : decision in oil b4 1:25 ish likely
01:19 pm Nicholas Winton : could be major copper strike
01:20 pm Nicholas Winton : at $BHP
01:20 pm Nicholas Winton : look at copper oriented stocks
01:20 pm Nicholas Winton : $TGB and $NAK (which has huge gold too)

01:35 pm Mathew Waterfall : usd/jpy and cahnnel high and cold just ran the late stops my thinking here
01:39 pm Curtis M : Copper has resistance ocming btw so if sentiment shifts its down so thats the hard part
01:40 pm Kevin E : $BIDU beast
01:54 pm Lenny E : $BIDU to the moon soon I think

02:24 pm Mathew Waterfall : I haven’t had time to work it out but Im wondering if there’s a link between BOJ and them trying to prop up oil. Would be news to me but Trump is slamming their JPY ramps so maybe they are looking elsewhere?
02:24 pm Mathew Waterfall : That’s full on tin foil hat btw lol
02:24 pm Curtis M : lol
02:25 pm Mathew Waterfall : random thoughts from mathew for ya right there
02:25 pm Curtis M : I’ll take random
02:29 pm Curtis M : kinda like getting old spice for Christmas
02:29 pm Mathew Waterfall : I guess I should have expected this quiet close
02:30 pm Mathew Waterfall : funny. /CL volume is up slightly today vs other days this year
02:31 pm Mathew Waterfall : I assumed it would be way down with lack of action
02:31 pm Mathew Waterfall : Anyone out there use Sierra by chance and have deep level 2 figures?
02:31 pm David Z : sierra?
02:32 pm Mathew Waterfall : Sierra is a platform that a lot of oil/gas traders use
02:32 pm Curtis M : OILK I think does
02:32 pm Curtis M : Out DWT
02:33 pm Curtis M : cant wait around gotta go kill something
02:33 pm Mathew Waterfall : Im curious if there’s a huge bid down there propping things up. You say no algos so they may be placing and pulling but seeing a large bid at like 51.5 would make sense
02:33 pm Curtis M : him or shafique or lui when theyre in the room or whatever theyll be the one
02:34 pm Curtis M : gary too he might
02:34 pm Curtis M : stupid stupid stupid ugh
02:34 pm Curtis M : lets kill one b4 end of day here lol
02:35 pm Mathew Waterfall : $ENPH on watch for VWAP test
02:36 pm Mathew Waterfall : That’s about the only small cap runner I’ve been eyeing
02:36 pm Curtis M : $OCRX $AEHR but both meh
02:37 pm Mathew Waterfall : Yea tough flow to read for me so I’ve been staying away from those plays this week
02:39 pm Mathew Waterfall : Via Twitter: $SPX on track to post its 7th daily move <0.1% in the last 10 days. First time that’s happened since Jan. 1995 (and 3rd time in history)
02:39 pm Eric L : what nuts
02:40 pm Curtis M : maybe im not going loony tunes
02:41 pm Mathew Waterfall : Yea that’s pretty crazy. Also crazy long streak for days without a 1% or more move
02:43 pm Curtis M : market has left the building
02:51 pm Eric L : Mathew what do you think of these low float Chinas these guys are starting to run?
02:52 pm Eric L : Oh and Curt btw thanks for getting me in and outta that oil without a dent even though it didn’t fly – Ive done mega with you that have so just wanted to say before I go.
02:52 pm Curtis M : hey np I think Mat sleeping on his keyboard
02:53 pm Mathew Waterfall : haha Im about to get more coffee just to stay awake.
02:53 pm Curtis M : repost for the few that just came back in…. Via Twitter: $SPX on track to post its 7th daily move <0.1% in the last 10 days. First time that’s happened since Jan. 1995 (and 3rd time in history)
02:53 pm Curtis M : thanks to Mat
02:53 pm Mathew Waterfall : I’m not a fan of the low float plays they don’t fit my trading style so I don’t play them often. I’m not the guy on that
02:54 pm Curtis M : y athyre tough
02:54 pm Mathew Waterfall : You make them look easy but they never seen so simple when I try lol so I just leave them be more often then not
02:54 pm Curtis M : if you get a good squeeze and and and you ship in small then small then small tight t can be done – but 1 in 10 I get good – half i get razor cuts
02:55 pm Curtis M : the secret for me is the squeeze but even those last two weeks ave been blah
02:55 pm Lenny E : makes a lot of sense there
02:56 pm Lenny E : basically my style
02:56 pm Mathew Waterfall : It seems like the plays of december and jan would keep running but this week and last they dry up super quick
02:56 pm Eric L : Learning
02:57 pm Curtis M : they have to run and you have to cut quick when they dont thats the only way and they trade n the .25 cent and you need momo momo momo or you can play pull backs but same thing everything dried up recently
02:57 pm Eric L : thanks guys
02:57 pm Eric L : calling it a day see you tomorrow
02:57 pm Curtis M : peace
02:57 pm Mathew Waterfall : have a good night
02:58 pm Curtis M : The play to catch was the turn on Gold – thats the play last 6 weeks
03:01 pm Mathew Waterfall : Only thing that’s moving. Not even your typical rotation really. Well metals and some tech I suppose
03:07 pm Curtis M : Deck
03:07 pm Curtis M : sorry that was late lol
03:08 pm Lenny E : seen it anyway
03:08 pm OILK K : me also
03:08 pm OILK K : Mathew – no I don’t have t but will soon
03:09 pm Mathew Waterfall : I was just curious about todays flow is all K
03:10 pm OILK K : 10 4
03:14 pm Nicholas Winton : $PLG boom
03:15 pm darnel t : ya a few of us killing that one
03:17 pm Mathew Waterfall : $PLG has just been griding. $UAA also seeing some action here which is nice
03:18 pm Curtis M : Nice to see you got movement
03:18 pm Curtis M : I was gonna re enter it but ya
03:18 pm Mathew Waterfall : Let’s hope it keeps going here
03:19 pm Mathew Waterfall : Still a decent low to play against at 20.40 but it needs to get into the 22’s to solidify
03:22 pm Curtis M : thinktankcharts
03:22 pm Curtis M : he just posted the wierdness
03:23 pm Curtis M : i think most are afraid to say the obvious
03:23 pm Curtis M : were obvoiusly being played imo
03:23 pm Mathew Waterfall : Yepp. Problem is the casino is a deck of cards as well with yellen and kuroda and the helm. We all know how this ends, we just don’t know when
03:24 pm Curtis M : everybody piling in to Deck cause everybody bored and pent up
03:24 pm Mathew Waterfall : Started with what, someone disclosing their 6% stake or something?
03:25 pm Curtis M : yup
03:25 pm Curtis M : its gonna be a good short
03:25 pm Mathew Waterfall : Think if this missle gets pointed down. The piling on plus IV expansion and VIX blowing up. What dreams are made of
03:25 pm Curtis M : when market corrects it will be 32 at best
03:25 pm Mathew Waterfall : I mean the market as a whole not $DECK though it’s included
03:26 pm Curtis M : ok my theory….
03:26 pm Curtis M : no more QE right? cause they can’t it wouldn’t fly in US I don’t think
03:26 pm Curtis M : so they have been through proxies buying up equities and ol etc for a long time
03:27 pm Curtis M : proxies controlled lke a stock promotor does same idea
03:27 pm Curtis M : its not deep but its my theory
03:27 pm Curtis M : lol thats it thats the whole theory
03:27 pm Lenny E : that was deep
03:27 pm Mathew Waterfall : I agree. I was expecting more lol. I also think that there is no way that they can raise rates here as aggresively as they want
03:27 pm Lenny E : Going to scalp Deck if it gets over 50
03:28 pm Mathew Waterfall : So I think they will have to tighten by unloading corp bonds that they have stockpiled
03:28 pm Curtis M : dont do it lenny
03:28 pm Mathew Waterfall : No more QE +bond selling+1-2 rate hikes per year on an economy made of china
03:28 pm Curtis M : sounds rght
03:29 pm Mathew Waterfall : Kaboom. I don’t think we make it that long. There has beena large shift in the last 12 months to the market IMO and in the last couple weeks it has gotten even worse. I’ll be sitting on my hands until things clear up
03:32 pm Mathew Waterfall : Late day bear flow into $AAPL of note. Only thing really jumping out at me today
03:33 pm Curtis M : hmmm
03:33 pm OILQ K : You guys are right.

03:38 pm Mathew Waterfall : Hasn’t been a ton of movement. $NAk was 2.9ish now 3.04
03:38 pm Dave A : That would be great
03:39 pm Nicholas Winton : $TGB also produces 250k oz silver and opened a moly mine

03:44 pm Nicholas Winton : in the last month or two
03:45 pm Nicholas Winton : $TGB traded at 50c in 2008 after copper crashed in 2008
03:45 pm Nicholas Winton : and within 2 years was back as high as $7
03:45 pm Nicholas Winton : as copper surged back up
03:45 pm Mathew Waterfall : copper(blue line) vs $SPX weekly bars http://tos.mx/TXpFLy
03:45 pm Mathew Waterfall : $TGB looks really good here. I think copper can rally without the greater market
03:46 pm Nicholas Winton : $TGB also has a huge undeveloped gold project called Prosperity
03:46 pm Nicholas Winton : much to like in $TGB followed for many years
03:46 pm Mathew Waterfall : Yepp that’s a logn term buy and hold
